Cytoplasmic male-sterile (CMS) lines with marker genes were raised by recurrent
backcrossing as listed in Table 1. As the cytoplasm donor, Taichung 65 with
"Chinsurah boro" cytoplasm was used, which was made available through Dr. C.
Shinjyo of University of Ryukyus. After 4-11 successive backcrosses, cytoplasm
substitution lines were established in 13 kinds of genetic stocks.
To reconfirm the linkage relations and to estimate the recombination values by backcrossing, these stocks were used for crosses, and the linkage intensity obtained from backcross data was compared with that from F\2\ data (Table 2). Although all linkage relations were confirmed, there was a variation in recombination value. As suggested by Immer (1930) and Allard (1956), there was a tendency for F\2\ repulsion data to give a higher recombination value than the true value given by backcrossed progeny. The accuracy of estimation of recombination values will be improved by the use of backcrossed populations produced by the CMS genetic stocks.
